repost @withregram • @wildup We are thrilled to announce the fourth volume of our Julius Eastman series, The Holy Presence, out on New Amsterdam (@newamrecords ) on June 21. Listen to the single Our Father on all streaming platforms today, featuring vocals by Davóne Tines (@alsoanoperasinger ). Click the link in bio to pre-order The Holy Presence. Poet and artist Harmony Holiday writes of the album: “This music embraces and leaves you with no choice but awe, an almost numb or dejected splendor for how high it takes you and how long you must dangle there with no parachute—true splendor, a truce between the secular and the divine. The sacred lets us move past cults of celebrity and personality in music, this is why we have no choice but to return to it whenever we seek to return to ourselves. This album is a prolonged miraculous encounter with nature’s rite of return.” Davóne Tines, voice richard valitutto (@pianotutto ), piano Seth Parker Woods (@sethparkerwoods ), cello Andrew McIntosh (@septimalcomma ), viola Mona Tian (@urbanmona ), viola Linnea Powell (@powelllinnea ), viola Diana Wade (@violanerd ), viola Derek Stein (@dereksteincello ), cello Hillary Smith (@hillarysmith ), cello Christopher Ahn (@chrisahncell ), cello Niall Taro Ferguson (@niallfest ), cello Seth Parker Woods, cello Stephen Pfeifer (@basspfeifer ), bass Marlon Martinez (@marloniusmusic ), bass Christopher Rountree (@orionrountree ), conductor / artistic director Produced, recorded, and mixed by Lewis Pesacov (@lewis_pesacov ) with additional production by Christopher Rountree Engineered by Lewis Pesacov and Clint Welander (@klintbeastwood ) Additional mixing on Prelude to the Holy Presence of Joan d’Arc by Clint Welander Recorded at East West Studios, Infinitespin Studio, and Sunset Sound Mixed at Ahata Sound Mastered by Reuben Cohen @reuben_cohen111 ) at Lurssen Mastering, Los Angeles, CA Designer: Andrea Hyde (@andrea._.hyde ) Cover Photo: Christine Rusiniak Session Photos: Glen Hahn (@glenjamn ) and Sam Lee  (@samanthaiasian ) Live Photo: Joe Sinnott Liner Notes: Harmony Holiday (@harmony_holiday ) Executive Producer: Elizabeth Cline (@elizcline ) Production Associate: Glenna Adkins (@glenna_adkins )
